An accappella weekend

"Sing them over again to me, Wonderful Words of Life
Let me more of their beauty see, Wonderful Words of Life.
Words so sweetly given, wooing us to Heaven -
Beautiful words, wonderful words, Wonderful Words of Life -
Beautiful words, wonderful words, Wonderful Words of Life!"

We had a great weekend!! Saturday night, we had some folks over to sing - hadn't done that in a while, and it was past time. Not the largest crowd, but the ones who came sang and sang with energy and passion. We sang old songs, new songs, Christmas songs - everyone just called out their number and we sang. Very sweet. The oldest person there was 93, the youngest 30. We sang until everyone was pretty well worn out, ate a few cookies, visited a minute and then called it a night.

Yesterday, the singing continued - Jamie did a wonderful job leading us, and we sang in praise and worship to the Father. You just cannot beat 4 part harmony for stirring the soul. I hope He felt our love and adoration -

To finish the night, we went to Whataburger; 4 couples for a burger. While there, a singing group from another church came in, and when they were all seated, began singing "Sanctuary!" Well, we just jumped right in with them! You should have seen some of their faces - like, "How do they know this song and those parts?!" It was great - reminded me of singing in DQs in my college years. One of our men was impressed that they could pull it off accappella - just goes to show you!!

What a great weekend!!
